1、Product Introduction
1、TMC2209 is an ultra-silent motor driver IC for two-phase stepper motors. Its

continuous drive current is 2A and peak current is 2.8A. Compared with TMC2208,

the driving current of this IC is not only improved by 0.6a-0.8a, but also this IC

increases the function of locked-motor test.

2、Voltage Range : 4.75V - 28V DC

This IC have some patent technologies:

SpreadCycle™ (highly dynamic motor control chopper)

StealthChop2™ (ultra-quiet technology)

MicroPlyer™ (microstep control)

StallGuard4™ (locked-motor test)

CoolStep™ (current dynamic control)

3 、 The Flexible microPlyer interpolation unit can provide 256 microsteps.

Stallguard4™locked-motor test can provide an abnormal signal when the motor

rotates abnormally. CoolStep™ current dynamic control can save 75% energy. The

sinusoidal control can be perfectly realized even in the system with limited pulse

frequency. Since stealthChop2 ™ ultra-quiet technology is widely used in 3D

printing, the design of these components is also compatible with existing 3D

printer electronic devices, and it eliminates the expensive cost of redesigning.The

module has a standard step/dir interface, it's easy to use.

voltage and the drive current can be increased.

8、Operating Mode
8.1、Pin setting of UART mode
The factory has connected the UART Pin to the fourth Pin, namely

the PDN_UART Pin shown on the left side of the figure below. If the fifth

Pin is used as the UART Pin, the resistance shall be removed and welded

to the following two pads, as shown on the right side of the figure below.

PDN is welded to select pins corresponding to UART mode；

8.3、Mute mode and anti-shake mode selection

The default mode used by the factory is mute mode,
as shown in the picture on the left of the following
figure.If anti-shake mode is needed,remove the
resistance and weld it to the following two pads, as
shown in the picture on the right of the picture below.

9、Matters needing attentions

8/9
 TMC2209-V1.2 manual Shenzhen Biqu Technology Co., Ltd.

1、Before installing the drive, make sure disconnect the

power supply to prevent the drive from burning out.

2、Before installing the drive, user must confirm the

drive direction, to prevent back connection caused by the
drive burning.

3、Pay attention to the wiring sequence and I/O port

when wiring. If the wrong line is connected, the driver will
not work directly, please connect carefully as shown
above.

4、Do not plug and unplug the drive module when the
device is working in order to avoid damage.

5、When user install the heat sink, make sure the heat
sink is not connected to the pin. We need prevent driving
short circuit.

6、The product is sensitive to static electricity, please

handle it carefully. It is better that remove the package
before using.

7、Make sure to do heat dissipation treatment for the

drive before using. (cooling pad, cooling fan)
